Spring has officially arrived in Starke County, and so has a fresh wave of activity in our local housing market. April brought a strong surge in both home sales and listing activity, giving us clear signs that the spring market is in full swing—and leaning in favor of sellers.
Let’s break it down:
Median Sold Price: $262,500 — a 12.4% jump from March
Price per Sq Ft: $142
Homes Sold: 16 (up from just 6 in March!)
Active Listings: 73 total, a 14.1% increase
Median Days on Market: 48
Market Type: Seller’s Market
Inventory is growing, which is typical for spring, but so is buyer interest. We're seeing homes move faster and for higher prices overall—especially well-maintained properties in move-in-ready condition.
3-Bedroom Homes: Sold at a median of $255,000 (a slight drop, likely due to more starter homes hitting the market)
4-Bedroom Homes: Rose to a median of $217,000 — a 10.2% gain
While more homes are hitting the market, buyers are still acting quickly, particularly for mid-size homes with outdoor space, updated interiors, and desirable locations!
Despite being a seller’s market, there’s a twist: about 75% of homes sold below asking price in April. This tells me that while demand is strong, buyers are still cautious and negotiating when they can. Pricing your home right from the start is crucial—overpricing may lead to longer days on market and missed opportunities.
For buyers, this means there’s still room to make competitive offers—especially on homes that have been listed for a few weeks. For sellers, now is the time to showcase your home at its best and make sure your pricing strategy is dialed in.
